Today was more of a chilled out day ... with nothing much to do ...
We went to the amusement park in the morning .. at about 12 and sat on the Ferris Wheel and the roller coaster ... which I dont think I will be doing again for quite sometime now ...
The Roller Coaster was uncomfortable and short and pretty scary ... the Ferris wheel was more of a sight seeing thing than a joy ride ...
Anyways ... the rest of the day, went in watching all the short films which were submitted earlier by the participants and the 6 finalists of the Software Design Invitational ... which were all pretty good ...
The 6 finalists were : Slovenia, Brazil, Germany, Greece, China and Russia ...
Russia had a really innovative app and China was scarily comprehensive ...
Greece tackled a social issue of creating a speech to sign language and sign language to speech app for the hearing impaired ...
The other team presentations were boring ... and the Germany app was not that interesting ...
Whatever they did, we could have implemented on our base system within a matter of a few hours ... We had all the back end ...
Only their presentation was slightly better ...
My prediction is : Russia, China and Greece ... lets see what happens tomorrow...
Note to myself : Next year, the presentation has to be awesome !!!
Anyways, we had this very sophisticated, formal, Japanese dinner in one of the poshest clubs in Japan ...
Again, all of us could just not consume the food.
Whats with the food huh ?
I think rest all people from all over the world can still eat it ... but we Indians just cannot ...
We had an early Indian dinner before we went to the one at the club ...
The dinner was supposed to be 5 course ... and by the 2nd course ... we had excused ourselves to go to the bathroom ... and ditched the entire event ... walking 25 mins to get back to the hotel ...
Had two glasses of ( not so good ) starbuck's cold coffee on the way back ...
Anyways ... next year's Imagine Cup is going to be in India ... so there is going to be a flag handing over ceremony and all of us are supposed to be on stage ...
So, we have some sort of rehearsel at 10 am ...
Thats all from me for now ...
More pictures ... :)
This was supposed to be our main course .. some boiled carrot and some seeweed look alike vegetable ...We had 9 types of cutlery out there !!! 9 types !!!
Yes ... you can rub your eyes again ... but this is Gaurang in formals !!!Didn't think that would happen before the world imploded in itself .. did ya ?
The Roller Coaster ride that we sat in ... which solidifed my belief that these things are not for me ...

Hehehe ...
While at the main event in the afternoon ... we were all given a sheet of flags of your country ...
You had to write your name and email id on each sticker and exchange it with as many countries as you could ...
The people with more than 5 country flags got a novelty gift ... which turned out to be a bunch of post-its with a microsoft footnote :(
Anyways ... goju boy here, got all his stickers from girls ... so the search seems to be going in the right direction ...
Now, he even has the email addresses of about 5 - 6 girls so he could later get in contact ... hehehe :)
